This National Historic Trail takes you along a small drainage creek through pines, aspen and a variety of wildflowers. The creek crosses the trail many times as you accent a gentle slope. Children, as well as the family dog will enjoy this easy hike. After 1 1/2 hour into your hike, you'll reach the first of many beaver ponds along the trail. Have lunch at the ponds, look for beavers and enjoy this beautiful area.

Getting there: On Interstate 80, take the Jeremy Ranch turnoff. Drive 5.1 miles past the Jeremy Ranch Clubhouse on the well-maintained Summit County gravel road. The Mormon Flats trailhead is marked and the footbridge leads the way to your adventure.
